We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants (移民). We’re all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Fridays of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss. Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked him, “How do you do that?” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me. I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has. I see that there will be challenges, but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work. 4. What trouble did the author have building a community? A. The community was poor. B. She lacked enough money. C. Renters had no sense of belonging. D. Her neighbors were all immigrants. 5. How did the author find her earlier events? A Fruitful. B. Ordinary. C. Inspiring. D. Messy. 6. What did the author do in order to change the socials? A. Adopt a sharing game. B. Add foods and drinks. C. Admit experienced locals. D. Ask some students for support. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Responsible and strict. B. Demanding and ambitious. C. Knowledgeable and modest. D. Insightful and determined. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为改善楼内租客们之间关系，让租客们找到归属感，她与丈夫决心创建社区的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. (租房者来来去去，往往不会将他们居住的建筑物视为自己的家。)”可知，租客们对居住地没有归属感是作者面对的困难。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss. (活动持续了两个小时，但除了聊天、吃零食和喝果汁外，没有什么可做的。社交活动很好，但大多数居民都错过了他们。)”可知，前几次把租客组织到一起的努力没有实质性效果，没有吸引广大居民的参加，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me. (他说，他们试图让人们与至少另一个人分享一些关于他们自己的事情。这对我来说很有意义。)”及第四段“I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has. (我买了一张很大的世界地图。在社交活动中，我把它用胶带贴在大厅的墙上，并贴上写有“我们来自哪里。在你出生的地方贴上绿色贴纸，在你祖父母出生的地方贴上黄色贴纸”的标志。人们贴上贴纸，看看其他人来自哪里。我们把地图贴了一整晚，第二天，也就是星期六，更多的人参与了进来。我计划把地图和贴纸贴一个月或更长时间。它们确实让大厅比通常的住房项目外观更有趣。)”可知，作者设计了一项分享游戏活动，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. (租房者来来去去，往往不会将他们居住的建筑物视为自己的家。)”及第三段“Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked him, “How do you do that?” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me. (然后有一天，我在附近的旧金山州立大学校园里。一个来自学生社交俱乐部的年轻人举着一个写着“Building Community”的大牌子。我问他“你是怎么做到的？”他说，他们试图让人们与至少另一个人分享一些关于他们自己的事情。这对我来说很有意义。)”可知，作者能认真了解租客信息，洞察存在的问题并决心建立社区，由此可知，作者是富有洞察力，意志坚强的人，故选D项。 C There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the atmosphere at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications. Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground. Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. The plant and tree material the process uses would release carbon if it wasn’t treated. And the cost is less than$ 100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet. Not everyone is excited about this carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph? A. Trees can purify the air in the sky. B. Plants release more carbon dioxide. C. Removing carbon from air is challenging. D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed. 9. What does the underlined word “dilute” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated. 10. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project? A. Its cost is relatively low. B. It is in good operation now. C. Its working condition is demanding. D. It turns carbon into building materials. 11. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology? A. It will make a difference soon. B. It can replace renewable energy in time. C. It will result in more environmental concerns. D. It can work together with other climate measures. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了使用DAC技术捕捉碳的研究、进展及思考。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture. (从空气中捕获二氧化碳是碳捕获最昂贵的应用。)”及后文主要介绍了碳捕捉可知，第一段想要告诉我们从空气中捕捉二氧化碳很有挑战性。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. (此外，大气中的二氧化碳比发电站或钢铁厂的废气中的二氧化碳要稀得多。)”可知，这里是将大气中的二氧化碳和发电厂或钢铁厂废气中的二氧化碳进行对比，发电厂或钢铁厂废气中的二氧化碳浓度高，那么大气中的二氧化碳相对就是稀薄的，所以dilute意思是“稀薄的”，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. (该公司声称其碳捕获方法很便宜，主要是因为它让植物完成这项工作。)”及第四段中的“And the cost is less than$ 100 to capture a ton of CO2. (捕获一吨二氧化碳的成本不到100美元。)”可知，Graphyte的DAC项目其成本相对较低，故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. (但专家表示，这个决定不是做一个或那个。世界需要结束化石燃料的使用并从空气中去除碳。)”可知，专家们普遍认为DAC技术可以与其他环保举措并行不悖。故选D项。 D Each of us individually is the accumulated (积累) product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. But, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. “Our earliest ancestors have been successful at adapting to ecological conditions that require different kinds of problems to be solved,” said Perreault, an associate professor with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. “Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly.” As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). He then analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool-making techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record to explore the origin of cumulative culture. He broke down the complexity of the stone tool technologies by the number of steps that each tool-making sequence (序列) involved. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the range of the baselines. From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to slightly top the complexity baseline. But, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences rapidly increased. “By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans, 3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools - like accessing meat and organs - leading to changes in brain size, lifetime and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 12. What does cumulative culture refer to according to the text? A. Emphasizing individual development. B. Paying attention to reforming social structure. C. Adapting to a changing living condition step by step. D. Building up technological improvements over generations. 13. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Perreault conducted the research. B. How important stone tool technologies were. C. What the baseline of cumulative culture was. D. Why Perreault chose chimpanzees for the study. 14. What happened by 600,000 years ago? A. Tool-making sequences remained unchanged. B. The population of the earth increased sharply. C. The ancestors began to make stone tools. D. The technology reached a turning point. 15. Why are strategies that require tools mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the result of human brains’ changes. B. To illustrate the motive of cumulative culture. C. To indicate the significance of common culture. D. To stress the eating habits of human ancestors. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在人类进化过程中累积文化是何时开始发展起来的研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一、二段的有关信息，尤其是第二段中的“Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly. (累积文化之所以关键，是因为它允许人类群体在前代的解决方案基础上进行构建和重组，并能够非常快速地发展出解决新问题的复杂方案。)”及下文所提及的工具制作技术的演变发展可知，本文中cumulative culture具体指技术改进的世代积累。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). (作为没有累积文化背景下石头工具技术复杂性的基线，Perreault分析了黑猩猩所使用的技术。)”以及剩余部分可知，本段主要介绍了Perreault 开展研究的具体方法与策略。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well (大约在60万年前，古代人类群体开始依赖异常复杂的技术，而且我们也能在那个时期之后看到复杂性的快速增长。)”可知，在这个时间节点后，早期人类工具制作的复杂性开始显著提升，即这是一个转折点。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture (工具辅助的觅食狩猎可能是累积文化演化最初开始的动机。)”及剩余部分可知，在最后一段提到工具策略是为了说明累积文化诞生的缘由。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For college applicants, the essay is the place to showcase their writing skills and let their unique voice shine through.

Arriving in Beijing as a 20-year-old from Germany I ____37____ (find) skateboarding to be my compass (指南针) in exploring this vast and unfamiliar city. My first impression of Beijing was its combination of ancient buildings and modern architecture, which provided a mix of skate spots. This contrasted with the skate parks back home in Europe, which, while well-designed and ____38____ (function), lacked the historical depth and ____39____ (diverse) found in Beijing. The skateboarding community in Beijing has also taken me ____40____ surprise. I remember the first time going out on a street skating session with my Canadian friend. I had some concerns ____41____ (initial), fearing that people might be a bit ____42____ (reserve) around me—a foreigner. Yet, my worries turned out to be unnecessary.

It meant moving away from my friends and going to a completely different middle school than the one I thought I’d be going to. In August, my parents and I got to take a tour of the school. That was when we learned that there weren’t any buses that passed our new neighbourhood. It was actually close to the school, so that meant I would be walking to and from school every day. At the time, both of my parents worked five days a week, so they found a babysitter to be there when my two-year-old brother and I got home and watch us until my parents returned home. The school year started, and in early September, we got a massive heatwave. The middle school was an old building and most of it was not air-conditioned. At the end of those days, I was tired and not in any mood to walk an additional twenty minutes in the heat, so I used snack money to call the babysitter. The babysitter, thinking he should not let me suffer in the heat, came to pick me up. I did try to call home two more times over the next two weeks. The second time, I got the sitter again. The third time, Dad answered. He was not happy with me. “It’s not that hot! You shouldn’t call the sitter away from the house. You have to start growing up. Walk home, and we will talk more when you get here.” “Okay,” I told demanding Dad. “I wouldn’t call the sitter or you again to be picked up.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Last Friday, a storm was getting close when school was out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How did you get home?” Mom asked, shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Last Friday, a storm was getting close when school was out. Of course I was scared, yet I had this strong sense of “I have to walk home”. So I made a dash for my house. However, fate seemed determined to test my resolve. The rain was absolutely pouring down. What should have been a twelve-minute walk took about thirty, each minute marked by the rhythmic drumming of raindrops against my body with the occasional rumble of thunder in the distance. Finally, I burst through the front door with pride. I called out breathlessly, “Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! I’m home!” “How did you get home?” Mom asked, shocked. “I walked,” I replied proudly. “Why not call home for emergencies?” Her voice was filled with worry. She was drying me off when Dad approached. “Well done, that’s my boy!” he patted me kindly, adding “Storms make trees take deeper roots.” I gave a nod and said, “I see.” On Saturday he took me out, treating me to a special day. We watched two movies together. That noon, he also surprised me with a large pepperoni pizza, my favourite. It was the most delicious food that I had ever had. 【解析】 【导语】本文以第一人称叙述者的角度讲述了一个11岁男孩在转学到新学校后，面对没有校车、需要步行上下学的挑战。文章通过描述男孩在炎热天气和暴风雨中坚持步行回家的经历，展现了他的成长和独立。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“上个星期五，放学时一场暴风雨正在逼近。”可知，第一段可描写男孩在风暴来临时，决定步行回家的经历。 ②由第二段首句内容““你是怎么回家的？”妈妈震惊地问道。”可知，第二段可描写男孩回家后，父母对他步行回家的反应和对话。 2. 续写线索：风暴来临——步行回家——父母的担忧与赞扬——家庭的温暖 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ① 接近：get close→approach, draw near ② 猛冲：make a dash→rush, sprint ③ 下定决心：be determined to→resolve to, be resolved to ④ 轻拍：pat→caress, stroke 情绪类： ① 坚决：resolve→determination, resolve ② 骄傲：proudly→arrogantly, boastfully ③ 害怕：scared→fearful, terrified ④ 惊讶：surprised→astounded, astonished 【点睛】【高级句型1】What should have been a twelve-minute walk took about thirty, each minute marked by the rhythmic drumming of raindrops against my body with the occasional rumble of thunder in the distance.（what引导的主语从句，过去分词作后置定语，with的介词短语作状语） 【高级句型2】On Saturday he took me out, treating me to a special day.（现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ ★启用前注意保密 广东省2025届普通高中毕业班第二次调研考试 英语 本试卷共10页，考试用时120分钟，满分120分。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己所在的市(县、区)、学校、班级、姓名、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上，将条形码横贴在每张答题卡左上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上将对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上;如需改动，先画掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案;不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4. 考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A THE TEMPE FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS December 6–8, 2024, Friday–Saturday 10:00 AM–5:30 PM & Sunday 10:00 AM–4:30 PM KIDS BLOCK A hands-on interactive block for young artists and a youth exhibition featuring over 450 student works from around the Valley - on display and for sale.

We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants (移民). We’re all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Fridays of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss. Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked him, “How do you do that?” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me. I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has. I see that there will be challenges, but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work. 4. What trouble did the author have building a community? A. The community was poor. B. She lacked enough money. C. Renters had no sense of belonging. D. Her neighbors were all immigrants. 5. How did the author find her earlier events? A. Fruitful. B. Ordinary. C. Inspiring. D. Messy. 6. What did the author do in order to change the socials? A. Adopt a sharing game. B. Add foods and drinks. C. Admit experienced locals. D. Ask some students for support. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Responsible and strict. B. Demanding and ambitious. C. Knowledgeable and modest. D. Insightful and determined. C There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the atmosphere at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications. Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground. Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. The plant and tree material the process uses would release carbon if it wasn’t treated. And the cost is less than$ 100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet. Not everyone is excited about this carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph? A. Trees can purify the air in the sky. B. Plants release more carbon dioxide. C. Removing carbon from air is challenging. D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed. 9. What does the underlined word “dilute” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated. 10. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project? A. Its cost is relatively low. B. It is in good operation now. C. Its working condition is demanding. D. It turns carbon into building materials. 11. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology? A. It will make a difference soon. B. It can replace renewable energy in time. C. It will result in more environmental concerns. D. It can work together with other climate measures. D Each of us individually is the accumulated (积累) product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. But, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. “Our earliest ancestors have been successful at adapting to ecological conditions that require different kinds of problems to be solved” said Perreault, an associate professor with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. “Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly.” As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). He then analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool-making techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record to explore the origin of cumulative culture. He broke down the complexity of the stone tool technologies by the number of steps that each tool-making sequence (序列) involved. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the range of the baselines. From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to slightly top the complexity baseline. But, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences rapidly increased. “By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans, 3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools - like accessing meat and organs - leading to changes in brain size, lifetime and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 12. What does cumulative culture refer to according to the text? A. Emphasizing individual development. B. Paying attention to reforming social structure. C. Adapting to a changing living condition step by step. D. Building up technological improvements over generations. 13. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Perreault conducted the research. B. How important stone tool technologies were. C. What the baseline of cumulative culture was. D. Why Perreault chose chimpanzees for the study. 14. What happened by 600,000 years ago? A. Tool-making sequences remained unchanged. B. The population of the earth increased sharply. C. The ancestors began to make stone tools. D. The technology reached a turning point. 15 Why are strategies that require tools mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the result of human brains’ changes. B. To illustrate the motive of cumulative culture. C. To indicate the significance of common culture. D. To stress the eating habits of human ancestors. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For college applicants, the essay is the place to showcase their writing skills and let their unique voice shine through.

It meant moving away from my friends and going to a completely different middle school than the one I thought I’d be going to. In August, my parents and I got to take a tour of the school. That was when we learned that there weren’t any buses that passed our new neighbourhood. It was actually close to the school, so that meant I would be walking to and from school every day. At the time, both of my parents worked five days a week, so they found a babysitter to be there when my two-year-old brother and I got home and watch us until my parents returned home. The school year started, and in early September, we got a massive heatwave. The middle school was an old building and most of it was not air-conditioned. At the end of those days, I was tired and not in any mood to walk an additional twenty minutes in the heat, so I used snack money to call the babysitter. The babysitter, thinking he should not let me suffer in the heat, came to pick me up. I did try to call home two more times over the next two weeks. The second time, I got the sitter again. The third time, Dad answered. He was not happy with me. “It’s not that hot! You shouldn’t call the sitter away from the house. You have to start growing up. Walk home, and we will talk more when you get here.” “Okay,” I told demanding Dad. “I wouldn’t call the sitter or you again to be picked up.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Last Friday, a storm was getting close when school was out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How did you get home?” Mom asked, shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
